geography

Basadingen in 1947, with Rodenberg and Schlattingen in the background

Basadingen is located south of Diessenhofen and just under two kilometers west of Schlattingen in the Geisslibach basin on the road from Diessenhofen to Trüllikon . The clustered village of the Geisslibach is characterized by half-timbered buildings from the 17th to 19th centuries along the triangle of the main streets. The church is northeast of the stream, surrounded by traditional farmhouses. The situation around the parish hall achieves a special spatial quality.

history

Parity Church of St. Martin

Early settlement witnesses are finds from the Neolithic Age on the Buchberg and at Dickihof as well as a Roman villa with a burial ground in Unterschlatt. Basadingen is first mentioned as Pasnandingas in a document from 761. This letter declares the sale of goods to the St. Gallen monastery. From the early Middle Ages on, the monasteries of St. Gallen , Rheinau , Reichenau and All Saints were wealthy in Basadingen. In 1260 the St. Katharinental Monastery bought the Reichenauer Kehlhof . Until 1330 it acquired numerous estates, the lower court and the tithe , so that from then on it was almost the sole lord of the village. The high court is believed to have belonged to the Diessenhofen Bailiwick from around 1300 and came to the city ​​of Diessenhofen in 1460 , which also exercised the lower jurisdiction in Basadingen from 1527 to 1798.

From the high Middle Ages , Basadingen belonged partly to Stammheim and partly to the parish of Basadingen, which was built around the Martinskirche in the 13th century at the latest. The latter was incorporated into the monastery of St. Katharinental in 1264. After the Reformation in 1529, the parish of Basadingen and the Stammheim part of Basadingen were merged to form the parish of Basadingen, to which Willisdorf also came. In 1631, with the appointment of a Catholic pastor, the simultaneity, which continues to this day, began . The existing church was consecrated in 1845.

The number of farms, all of which were integrated into the village Zelgensystem and structured in a similar way, fell from around 40 to 16 between 1328 and 1433, only to double again between 1470 and 1550. After that, the appearance of the settlement, the system of use and the abandoned area remained stable until around 1800, while the number of farms - which are still focused on arable farming - increased significantly. Extensive forests encouraged the woodworking industry to flourish. Around 1900 an embroidery shop and a brickyard offered some factory jobs, but Basadingen's rural character was retained until 1970. Since then, agricultural improvements with the abandonment of extensive fruit growing and strong population growth with new single-family houses have changed the settlement and landscape.
